Your Paint Color Profile

YU6 - Athens Blue Metallic

The Look

This color is a bit of a rarity in the world of crossovers. Specifically tied to the 2012 Veracruz, this deep, sophisticated blue helped elevate the look of Hyundai's largest SUV at the time. It is a dark, navy-adjacent shade that provides a professional and upscale vibe without being as stark as a plain black. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over a decade, you will likely notice that the original finish has softened or shifted slightly from its factory state. This dark blue is excellent at hiding light road dust, but it will show every tiny scratch or rock chip that catches the light, which makes your repair work vital for keeping that polished appearance.

Technical Details

Because this is a metallic finish, there are thousands of tiny flakes suspended in the liquid that create that distinctive shimmer. These flakes are heavier than the pigment, meaning they naturally want to sink to the bottom of your container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the color will look too dark or muddy. Poorly mixed metallic paint can also lead to mottling, which looks like uneven dark spots or stripes on the surface. To get a consistent finish, you must ensure those flakes stay suspended and land evenly on the surface so they reflect light in the same direction.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hyundai Athens Blue Metallic (check for code YU6), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your specific code on the sticker inside the driver-side door jamb, usually near the latch. Once you are ready, test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your current paint. When applying the paint in your garage or a shaded area, keep the container moving in steady, even strokes. If you are using a spray, maintain a consistent spray distance and avoid staying in one spot for too long to prevent heavy buildup. Give each layer enough drying time before adding the next, and always finish with a clear coat to bring back that factory gloss.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Hyundai's Color Code

Hyundai paint codes are normally on the drivers door jamb; some models hide the color code in the engine compartment. Typical format: 3E which corresponds to: Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat. Some later Hyundais use a three character code. A paint can be S3; this is actually the same as S3B. Same color code, different name: the same paint may be used across models, e.g., 3E as Blue Onyx Metallic Clearcoat, Blue Clearcoat, or Ocean Blue Clearcoat.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
